6:12 pm - A Bit Better :-)
|
Last night when I went off line I
made myself a plate of beans on toast before watching an episode of Firefly on DVD. I was rather tired
so had an early night, normally I stay up till midnight but yesterday I
was in bed by eleven.
I must have been even more tired than I though as it was after nine
when I got up, it is probably good that the weather was bad as getting
a good night sleep is more important than going out. Once up I came on
line, although that took a while as the computer was being
temperamental. Once on I made a start to my moves in the Kingdom
of
Loathing while chatting to Maz
on MSN, Randi on AIM, Durel in #spacefem and to Nick and AirBag in #futuramachat.
After lunch I had a short nap and a soak in the bath before coming back
on line and finishing my moves in the Kingdom
of
Loathing while watching this week's episode of Heroes on the BBC iPlayer which I
had forgotten to record last night. Later on I chatted to Durel in #spacefem, Lucy on Yahoo and to Dread, Nemesis, Yami and Mercy in #dataclaw
Hopefully tomorrow the weather will be better so that we can get out to
do some bird watching.
current mood: okay

6:31 pm - A Day In Peterborough
|
Last night just before I updated I
had a short natter to Mandy on
MSN. When I went off line I made my supper, as I was rather tired I
didn't watch a film, instead I watched an episode each of Firefly and Gunslinger
Girl. When I went to bed I felt pretty ill, in case I coughed so
much I was sick.
I didn't sleep to well and got up at five o'clock and watched another
episode of Firefly and read
the newspaper before coming on line and making most of my moves in the Kingdom
of
Loathing and having a short chat to Mandy on MSN. Even though I hadn't
had a good night I decided to go to Peterborough anyway to get some
fresh air. I didn't buy anything as just about all the DVDs for sale
can be found at a better price on line. I did of course have some beer,
a breakfast in the Draper's Arms and later a lunch in the Brewery Tap.
I must have been more tired than I though as I slept for most of the
bus journey home and I rarely sleep when travelling.
When I got home I finished my moves in the Kingdom
of
Loathing while chatting to Dread,
Tarwedge and Adamas in #dataclaw, to Durel in #spacefem and to Lucy on Yahoo.
I might be going out bird watching tomorrow although that is dependent
on the weather being okay, if is is snowing we'll say in.
current mood: sick

5:27 pm - Bunged Up :-(
|
Yesterday evening I chatted to SkyDancer, OutOfMind, FireyFlame and BondBatGirl in the Kingdom
of
Loathing chat. When I went off line I made my supper before
watching High Plains Drifter
and the penultimate episode of Gunslinger
Girl on DVD.
I woke up fairly early due to my cold, when I got up I read the
newspaper before coming on line and making most of my moves in
the Kingdom
of
Loathing. While doing that I chatted to Durel and GOTR in #spacefem and to Nick in #futuramachat. I
also posted a review of High Plains Drifter on the IMDb.
After lunch I had a nap then had a hair cut and a bath before coming
back on line and watching this week's episode of Spooks while finishing my moves in
the Kingdom
of
Loathing. Later on I chatted to Lucy
on Yahoo, Durel in #spacefem and to Dread, Kayura, Nemesis, Yami and Kit.
Tomorrow, if I'm not feeling too ill I will probably go to Peterborough
on the bus, a bit of fresh air might do me some good.
current mood: blah

6:41 pm - Cold Getting Worse :-/
|
Last night after I updated I chatted
to Dread, Kayura, Yami and Tarwedge in #eventide. When I went
off line I made my supper before watching Joe Kidd and an episode of Gunslinger
Girl on DVD.
When I got up this morning I read the paper before coming on line and
making my moves in the Kingdom
of
Loathing where I spoke to Poppy
and Luna, I also spoke to GOTR and Durel in #spacefem, to Lolol in #futuramachat and
to Mandy on MSN. While
chatting I posted a bit on PEEL
and wrote a short review of Joe Kidd
which I posted on the IMDb. I also
watched this week's episode of Top
Gear on the BBC iPlayer.
After lunch and a nap I came back on line and watched Wallander, a new detective show set
in Sweden, the first episode was pretty good, I'll certainly watch the
remaining episodes. I also chatted to Lucy
on Yahoo and to Laura and Gudbjorg in #futuramachat
while finishing my moves in the Kingdom of
Loathing.

4:57 pm - A Rainy Day
|
Yesterday evening I had another chat
with Kairi in #dataclaw. When
I when off line I made my supper before watching Coogan's Bluff on DVD, I thought at
first there was something wrong with the DVD player as I was only
getting sound, it turned out that the lead wasn't properly plugged into
the television. After that I watched another episode of Gunslinger
Girl.
This morning when I came on line I made most of my moves in the Kingdom of
Loathing where I chatted to OldJanitor,
in #spacefem I spoke to Durel and on MSN I had a brief
natter to Mandy, I also wrote
my weekly emails to Holly and Aleel and posted a review of Coogan's Bluff on the IMDb.
After lunch I popped round the road to help a friend of my fathers with
his computer, unfortunately I couldn't figure out why one program
wasn't working but I could download another which should help him. When
I got back home I had a short rest and a bath before coming back on
line and finishing my moves in the Kingdom of
Loathing. I also posted a bit on Spacefem's Forum and chatted with
Lucy on Yahoo and to Juliet on MSN.
I might be going out tomorrow, if I do I hope the weather is a lot
better than today as it was rather wet.
current mood: good

of Miami Vice and Gunslinger

8:31 pm - Caspian Gull
|
When I went off line I made a plate
of beans on toast for my supper before watching this week's
episodes of Apparitions and Heroes, I had planned to watch another
episode of Gunslinger
Girl as well but decided against it as I didn't want to be up
too late.
This morning, when I got up I made a start to my moves in the Kingdom of
Loathing while chatting to my friend Randi on AIM and to Phish in #dataclaw. I thought when
we left for Gainsborough at a quarter past eight we'd get there too
early and I'd have a lot of time to kill, in fact we got there slightly
later than planned. I went for a stroll around the town and was pleased
to find a Wetherspoons pub, The Sweyn Forkbeard, where I had a full
English breakfast and a half pint. At eleven I popped in to the Eight
Jolly Brewers for a bit more beer.
Once my father's meeting was over we continued on to the Potteric Carr
Nature Reserve near Doncaster, given that it was so close to a large
town I was amazed at just how large the site was. After a long walk to
the hide we got excellent views of our first Caspian Gull of the year,
however we didn't manage to see any Lesser-spotted Woodpeckers.
When I got home I had my dinner before coming back on line and making
more moves in the Kingdom
of
Loathing while chatted to GOTR,
Meppi, Stapler and Durel in #spacefem and to Dread, Kairi and Tarwedge in #dataclaw.
current mood: good

6:29 pm - Spotted Sandpiper
|
Yesterday when I went off line I made
my supper then watched the third of the Clint Eastwood films I bought
recently, this time The Gauntlet, I followed this with another episode
of Gunslinger
Girl.
When I got up I popped on line and made a start to my moves in the Kingdom of
Loathing while in #spacefem
I chatted to Durel and GOTR. I wasn't on for very long as
we set off for Staffordshire at half past eight. When we got there it
was a long walk from the car park to the bird, thankfully when we got
the Spotted Sandpiper was
showing very well although as it is Winter it had no spots.
On the way home we stopped off at the Arkwright Arms in Sutton Cum
Duckmanton near Bolsover, I think this pub will added to out list of
places to stop at if we are in the area. Once back home I made more
moves in the Kingdom of
Loathing and spoke to Durel
in #spacefem.
I might be going out again tomorrow as there have been Lesser-spotted Woodpeckers
seen at a site near Doncaster, my father has a meeting near there in
the morning so if the weather is good I'll go up with him, even though
passing two hours in Gainsburough might be less than interesting.
current mood: rushed

6:00 pm - Cold Feet :-/
|
Last night after I updated I had a
natter with Daniela on Yahoo.
When I went off line I made my supper before watching The Beguiled and an episode of Gunslinger
Girl on DVD. At first the picture was poor even after I'd
disconnected the aerial from the wall, I thought it might be a fault
with the disc but thankfully when I removed the aerial cord from the
television the picture improved.
When I came on line this morning I made a start to my moves in the Kingdom of
Loathing where I chatted to OldJanitor,
I also spoke to Durel and Mousy in #spacefem. While doing that I
wrote a review of The Beguiled
which I posted on the IMDb. At
about half past eleven I had to pop out for a bit to help take some
stuff round to the village hall.
After lunch I had a nap before coming back on line and finishing my
moves in the Kingdom of
Loathing and chatting to Gudbjorg,
Books, Obama, Josh and Denise in #futuramachat, I
also had to delete more posts on PEEL,
I have a feeling somebody there is going to be banned. Later on I
chatted with Lucy on Yahoo and
to Kairi and Blusk in #dataclaw.
Tomorrow I will probably be off bird watching as there is a Spotted Sandpiper at a
reservoir in Staffordshire and I haven't seen one for several years.
current mood: cold

6:58 pm - An Afternoon Bird Watching
|
Yesterday evening when I went off
line I made my supper then watched The
Bourne Identity on DVD, as I wasn't too tired when it finished I
then watched another episode of Gunslinger
Girl.
When I came on line this morning I made my moves in the Kingdom of
Loathing where I spoke to OldJanitor, on AIM I chatted to my friend
Randi and on MSN I chatted to Juliet. I also posted a bit on Spacefem's Forum, deleted some
posts on PEEL and posted a
review of The Bourne Identity on the IMDb.
I went off for lunch a little earlier than usual so we could go to see
a Red-breasted Flycatcher
in a park in Luton. It wasn't showing when we arrived, as there were
rather a lot of trees I thought we might have missed out again but
thankfully it returned and we got some fairly good views in the end. On
the way home we stopped off at The Engineer's Arms in Henlow where I
had a few halves of very nice ale.
Once home I was pleased to find that all of the Clint Eastwood DVDs I
ordered last week had arrived. When I got on line I nattered to Lucy on Yahoo, Durel in #spacefem and to Sticky in #futuramachat.
current mood: chipper

6:13 pm - Unsuccessful Birding :-/
|
Yesterday when I went off line I made
my supper then watched Alien Vs
Predator on video, I had recorded it when it was on television a
few days ago and expected it to be terrible but it wasn't too bad after
all. I then watched an episode of Gunslinger
Girl on DVD.
When I got up I popped on line and made a start to my moves in the Kingdom of
Loathing, while doing that I spoke to Randi on MSN and to Kirby, GOTR and Arcanthus in #spacefem. At eight o'clock we
set off for Rainham Marshes, we had a good journey till we were almost
there, because the map showed the incorrect location for the reserve
access it took a while to find it. Once there we asked where we should
be looking for the Serin,
we went there but couldn't find it. I suspect it was keeping fairly low
as it was very windy there. As a slight consolation I was able to get a
nice photograph of a Kestrel
perched close to the path.

We had a good journey back and were back just after three o'clock, once
home I came on line and wrote a review of Alien Vs Predator which I
posted on the IMDb, while making
more of my moves in the Kingdom
of
Loathing. I also spoke to Laura,
Obama and Gudbjorg in #futuramachat and
to LightDragon, Ghosticle and Tarwedge in #dataclaw.

|
Last night when I went off line I
made my supper then watched this week's episode of Apparitions which I had recorded
earlier followed by an episode of Gunslinger
Girl on DVD.
I woke up fairly early this morning so made a mug of coffee and read
the newspaper before coming on line and making my moves in the Kingdom of

in #spacefem I chatted to Mousy, Durel, Arcanthus and GOTR and in #futuramachat I
chatted to Randi and Dixie, I also chatted with Randi on AIM and to Mandy on MSN. I had to pop out for a
little bit as a friend of my father's was having problems with his
computer, I think I managed to fix it though.
After lunch I had a nap then came back on line and chatted to Mandy a bit more, I also chatted to Dread, Kayura and Nemesis in #dataclaw and to Gudbjorg, Amy, Human and Morbo in #spacefem. While chatting I
listened to Mark Kermode's Film
Reviews on Radio Five and posted on PEEL and Spacefem's Forum.
Tomorrow I will probably be out for most of the day as we plan to go to
the RSPB Reserve at Rainham Marshes in London as there is at least one Serin there and we haven't
seen one for a few years.
current mood: relaxed

6:15 pm - A Lovely Meal Out
|
Last night after I updated I watched
this week's episode of Terminator:
The Sarah Connor Chronicles. When I went off line I made a
bacon, sausage and egg sandwich for my supper before watching The Culture Show on BBC2, I then
watched My Neighbour Totoro
on DVD.
This morning I popped on line for a bit to make a start to my moves in
the Kingdom of
Loathing, while doing that I chatted to Randi on AIM, I also spoke to her
and Books in #futuramachat. At
half past nine we went out to Norfolk, our first stop was Holkham Park
where we went for a walk through the trees, there weren't any unusual
birds there but it was a nice place to have a stroll.
We then headed to Binham for lunch, I had the lamb which was excellent.
While there I told Alex that
I'd seen that they had got a good write-up in The Good Beer Guide, she hadn't
seen it so I got the book from the car to show her, she seemed rather
happy with what it had to say, we also showed it to Steve the Landlord and to Neil the chef who was rather pleased
as the review mentioned that the pub had a "talented chef". On the way
home we stopped of at Titchwell. When I got back home I finished my
moves in the Kingdom of
Loathing and had a chat to Daka
on MSN.
current mood: cheerful

7:30 pm - Birthday :-D
|
Yesterday evening when I went off
line I made a bacon and egg sandwich for my supper before watching the
latest episode of Spooks
which I had recorded earlier and the final episode of Elfen Lied on DVD.
This morning when I got up I opened my birthday present, I got this
year's edition of The Good Beer Guide
which is what I usually get. When I came on line I made most of my
moves in the Kingdom of
Loathing while chatting to Randi
on AIM, to Firiona, Durel, Nillerz and GOTR in #spacefem and to Randi, Nick and Airbag in #futuramachat. I
also posted a bit on PEEL.
After an early lunch we drove up to Donna Nook on the Lincolnshire
coast to see the Glaucous
Gull, it was fairly distant but with the telescope there was no
doubting its identification, as well as the gull we saw large numbers
of Grey Seals which
come ashore to breed there, it is surprising just how close they come
to people, in fact they come so close that there is a fence to stop
people trying to touch them.
Grey Seal pup
On the way home I got some use out of my birthday present, because of
it we went to The Crown Inn in Maltby le Marsh and had some nice beer
including one made at their new on site brewery. I have a feeling that
we will be going there again next time we are in the area. When I got
back home I came on line and chatted to my friend Lucy on Yahoo, I thanked her for the
birthday card which arrived in today's post, I also chatted with Nemesis in #dataclaw and to Amy and TNUK in #futuramachat.
Tomorrow I will be going out to Norfolk as I'll be having my birthday
meal at The Chequers in Binham, I expect we'll also do some bird
watching while we are in the area.
current mood: happy

When I came on line this morning I made most of my moves in the Kingdom of
Loathing while writing a review of X-Men: The Last Stand to post
on the IMDb, I also posted on PEEL and chatted with Randi on AIM, to Mandy on MSN and to Firiona in #spacefem. Later on when things

Tomorrow we might go up to Donna Nook if the Glaucous Gull is still
there, if it is I hope the weather is a bit warmer than today.

5:33 pm - Unsuccessful Birding
|
Yesterday evening I had a nice chat
to my friend Lucy on Yahoo.
When I went off line I made some beans on toast for my supper then
watched X-Men 2 on DVD.
This morning when I came on line I made all ,y moves in the Kingdom of

After lunch we went out bird watching, not to Donna Nook as had been
planned yesterday but to a Ditchford gravel pits in Northamptonshire
where both Glaucous
and Caspian Gulls had
been seen yesterday; unfortunately today neither were to be seen, at
least it wasn't too far and the roads to there are much better than the
one to Donna Nook. Once back home I came on line and spoke to Durel in #spacefem,
to Dread, Nemesis and Tarwedge in #dataclaw and to Sticky in #futuramachat.

5:43 pm - A Quiet Day
|
Last night after I updated I spotted
a mouse in my room, I set a trap and swiftly caught it followed by
another two, I think they must have come in to the house the day before
when a tractor cut the grass in the dyke that runs behind the back
garden. On line I had another chat to Randi
on AIM and on Yahoo I chatted to Lucy.
When I went off line I made my supper then watched the penultimate
episode of Elfen Lied on DVD
followed by this week's episode of Taggart
which had just finished recording.
This morning when I came on line I made my moves in the Kingdom of
Loathing while chatting to Randi
on AIM, to Mandy on MSN and to
Durel and Kirby in #spacefem. I also posted a bit on
PEEL.
After lunch I had a nap and a bath before coming back on line and
posting a bit more on PEEL,
later I chatted to Dread, Kayura in #dataclaw and to Luna and OldJanitor in the Kingdom of
Loathing clan chat.
Tomorrow I might be going out in the afternoon as there is a Glaucous Gull in the seal
colony at Donna Nook, it has been there a few days so there is a fair
chance it will still be there.
current mood: good
